Well, I don't have any workloads that are doing high-speed create/remove of file in /tmp. And I don't think most people have any of those types of workloads either. Wouldn't it make sense that people with those types of workloads could enable /tmp on tmpfs? Rather than making it the default for everyone. . -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
